Credits for cat icons: Images from my original photographs.
The pleasingly plump calico with attitude is Tyger (aka Tygie, my
delicate little Tiger Lily, and my Pudge Muffin d'Amour), the cat with
the dark stripes is Kitten Willow Kenobi (aka Willow! Willow! Willow!),
and the gray, scruffy "adult kitten" with the belly is Jack Sparrow
(aka, The Godess of Chaos, the Harbinger of Destruction, and the Second
Law of Thermodynamics Incarnate). They're all females. 1)
